Examensarbetet bero?r polisens anva?ndande av en, ur ra?ttssa?kerhets- och integritetssynpunkt, fo?rha?llandevis starkt kontroversiell metod fo?r att utro?na och beivra brottslighet. Metoden som bero?rs a?r sa? kallad infiltration och a?r en del av polisens sa? kallade informato?rsverksamhet; en verksamhet da?r polisen pa? olika vis anva?nder sig av privatpersoner i sitt polisia?ra arbete.Examensarbetet besta?r av 3 huvuddelar, da?r den fo?rsta delen utgo?r en inledningsdel, som efterfo?ljs av en ga?llande ra?tt del och slutligen en analysdel.Under Ga?llande ra?tt bero?rs, sammanfattas och klargo?rs vad som utgo?r ga?llande ra?tt i nula?get. Eftersom ra?ttsomra?det a?r, i lagtext, oreglerat har det under en la?ngre tid varit oklart vad som egentligen a?r tilla?tet respektive otilla?tet.

Samarbetet inom Europeiska Unionen har inneburit ett alltmer integrerat Europa. Skapandet av den inre marknaden, en marknad utan handelshinder och med fri ro?rlighet fo?r varor, personer, tja?nster och kapital, inneba?r att privatpersoner och fo?retag i stort ska vara ofo?rhindrade att ro?ra sig o?ver landsgra?nserna. Ett bolag etablerat i en medlemsstat kan exempelvis ha intresse av att flytta till en annan medlemsstat. Av princip kan tyckas att EU-ra?tten, med ha?nvisning till etableringsfriheten, ska mo?jliggo?ra en sa?dan allokering utan att bolaget ifra?ga tvingas utsta? na?gon negativ sa?rbehandling.

Product development cycles become shorter and shorter. The time from idea to market has become an important competitive factor. Despite this, methods used for making the product development process faster are surrounded with uncertainty about their efficiency. The purpose of the thesis is to describe the pros and cons of ?best practice? methods for shortening lead times and how these methods effect the lead times in research and development.

The well-being of employees has become a key concept in the rhetoric of the company boards and business literature of today. There is however not much statistic evidence of a connection between economic results and the perceived working climate. This thesis sets out to investigate whether there is a positive correlation between economic results and working climate on a work group level. It also aims to study which specific working climate factors influence the results. In order to meet its purpose this thesis analyzes employee satisfaction questionnaire data and economic results from more than 300 work groups.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att belysa en kommunal skolverksamhets förändringsprocess med att utveckla sitt systematiska kvalitetsarbete från kvalitetsredovisning till ett kontinuerligt förbättringsarbete. Genom att ställa ett enskilt fall i relation till kontextuella samband syftar studien även till att belysa det komplexa samspel som föreligger från det att ett politiskt beslut fattats till att det blivit en institutionaliserad del av skolenheternas vardagsarbete.Teori: Lindensjö & Lundgrens teoretiska begreppsapparat och teoretiska perspektiv används för att beskriva och analysera politisk styrning av reformen kring systematiskt kvalitetsarbete. Teorin om offentliga insatsers resultat identifierar åtta faktorer som kan påverka. Dessa faktorer används för att organisera studiens resultat. Sandberg & Targamas teori om hur man kan utveckla praktiska metoder för ledning genom förståelse utifrån ett tolkande perspektiv och Senges teori om generative learning utifrån behovet av att i en lärande organisation ständigt ifrågasätta sina mental models används för att förstå förändringsprocessen och ställs i relation till Gadamers begrepp verkningshistoria.Metod: Det empiriska materialet härrör från sex kvalitativa intervjuer med tre rektorer och en intervju med utbildningsledare vid utbildningsförvaltning, samt från textgranskning av kvalitetsredovisningar.

Media has power and impact. It is therefore important for managers to be able to handle media storms when they arise. If not, the brand can be affected negatively. It is managers who should learn to handle media storms because the managers constitute an important part of the external face of the company. Because it is managers who should learn to handle media storms it is interesting to study how media storms should be handled from a theoretical management-perspective.

Of all observable societal trends, the proliferation of standardizing processes is striking. Auditing standards are an illustrative example of this. Not only privately owned companies must today make available numbers and key figures to satisfy needs of information and knowledge. Government agencies are increasingly conforming to this trend, adopting standards for quality assurance and monitoring, producing numbers and annual reports ? despite their somewhat ambiguous task and role.

Purpose This thesis tries to create an understanding of how male homosexual entrepreneurs, both as persons and as a concept, relates to the fact that entrepreneurship, as well as the society as a whole, is heteronormative. Moreover, it examines by what methods the male homosexual entrepreneurs cope with the seemingly paradox of a homosexual man who also is an entrepreneur. Method The method has been qualitative from a social construction-point of view. We have made semi-structured interviews with nine male homosexual entrepreneurs and structured the findings from the interviews with a computer programme and mind mapping techniques. We have compared the structured findings with theories, in an abducting manner, to find out an answer to the purpose of this thesis.

During the last 20 years, the Swedish health care system has faced major changes. One of them is the increasing pressure to generate economic profit due to private businesses entering the market. Health care units are forced to make some structural changes in order to become effective and efficient. As a result merger and acquisitions has become a part of the health care sector, and seems to be an increasing phenomenon. Mergers and acquisitions have mainly been studied in the industry.
